Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      In the last couple of weeks I sold my old mk3 and joined the darkside. Bought this on monday, is a 1986 e30 325i (imported from europe in '99). It's definintely a brilliant little car, loving every moment of driving it at the moment!

                  Re: &quot; My other car is a BMW&quot; thread

                  thanks! this e30 almost feels more modern than my last mk3, power windows/sunroof and icy cold aircon... is hard to believe it's almost 10 years older. might actually make a thread yet as I plan on keeping this one much more legal. megasquirt and such may be in the near future

                    Similar story to Ben, recently sold my MK3 VR6, and also felt the dark side calling me..

                    Bought an 03' Supercharged Mini Cooper S (The Mini's BMW made)

                    And what an absolute pocket rocket she is

                      I also have a BMW as my other car. It's a 2000 E46 330ci convertible and has served me very well for the last 2.5 years.



                      I've had to put it up for sale (2000 BMW 330Ci E46 Convertible) to fund the GTI and will probably get a second car for track duties as I was always concerned about putting the E46 into a wall.

                      One of the biggest differences (apart from it being rwd and a coupe) I've noticed is the amount of standard stuff the E46 came with, and the extremely good fit and finish compared to the mk5 GTI I have now. That isn't to say that the fit and finish of the GTI is bad by any means, the BMW was just better!

                        Every time I drive my e30 it impresses me, not a single rattle. Not bad considering it's 27 years old... really shows the quality. Even both of my much younger vws had a few rattles
